Remembering the 60s and the 70s

Conveniently Forgotten Facts.

Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die.  Rackley was suspected of disloyalty.
Rackley was first tied to a chair.  Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him.

When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbro took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head.  Rackley's body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Connecticut.

Perhaps at this point you're curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers?

In 1977, that's only eight years later, only one of the killers was still in jail.

The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al Gore.  He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State College.

 Isn't that something!!!

As a '60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone's head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean!
 Only in America!!!

Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley's torture... Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board.

 How in the world do you think these killers got off so easily?

Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers.

These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during  their trial.

One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee.   Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn't a college dean.  He isn't a member of a California School Board.  He became head of the United States Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton.

O.K., so who was the other Panther defender?  Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member?  Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean?  No, neither!

The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time.  She is none other than the former Democratic senator from the State of New York, and former First Lady, and former secretary of State, the incredible Hillary Rodham Clinton.

END OF SO-CALLED URBAN LEGEND E-MAIL

**************************************************

The above e-mail, widely spread via the internet by opponents of Clinton's campaign for the U.S. Senate in 2000, claimed that Clinton defended Bobby Seale and helped him beat the murder charge.  In fact Clinton, who was at the time a Yale law student named Hillary Rodham, did not directly serve the defense.  Instead, she helped coordinate the efforts of the ACLU to monitor the trial for civil rights violations.  She was also one of the student protesters that demonstrated in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial.

Because she did not actually serve on the defense team, (she was only a law STUDENT at the time) left wing research sites (like snoops) label the whole e-mail as false.

The Snoops web site is known for distorting the truth with a liberal slant, but I have found that Wikipedia usually has the facts straight.  Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Rackley

 Pass this on!    This deserves the widest possible press.
 Also remember it when she runs for President!

 And never forget her roll in Benghazi…
